Horse
Betting Online Guide

Place
your online bet through one of our top rated online
racebooks and WIN

Horse Betting
is a very specialized niche in the online betting
market. Not every online sportsbook, for example,
posts odds and takes bets on horses. Despite this
fact, both thoroughbred horse racing and harness
racing remain among the most popular events on
which to gamble.

This Horse
Betting Online Guide draws on the collective wisdom
and experience of the principle staff of Phoenix
Media Group and the designers of the
Horse Betting Online Guide and derives from over
13 aggregate years of experience gambling online
(including 11 aggregate years of recreational
sports gambling, and 5 years of actually profitable
professional play) as well as an additional 5
years of professional consultation in the sports
gambling industry, both on and offline. Our unique
position and experience in relation to the online
gambling industry has placed us in a position
of direct insight into which sports and racebooks
are best positioned to take your online horse
bets, with the utmost confidence that you will
receive the same high quality of service and entertaining
experience betting the horses online that you
would expect betting at the track, or at your
local off-track betting facility. Following are
our Top 3 preferred racebooks for horse betting
online, including full sign up bonus information
so you can extend your online horse betting play
for as long as possible. Finally, each horse betting
online racebook mentioned herein holds to strict
standards of honesty and reliability and takes
pride in exceptional customer service. These companies
are the ones that we not only recommend, but also
wager at ourselves.

RaceBook takes
pride in providing a quality gaming experience
and is among the world's largest online horse
wagering websites. With 15 years of gaming and
hospitality experience, you are assured of one-of-a-kind

Barbuda.

Bodog features free race analysis
by professional analysts, and includes a stakes
race calendar so you won't miss any of the horse
betting action. And when you're done picking a
winner at the tracks you can stop by the sportsbook,
try your hand at blackjack at the BoDog casino,
or even take money from the other players at BoDog's
reknowned poker room.

As
many of you, our visitors, will have never tried horse
betting online, we have written this brief instructional
piece so you can learn how to get started.

To get started
horse betting online, you first need to choose an online
racebook. We have listed 10 of the very best racebooks
in this Horse Betting Online Guide. If you stick with
one of the racebooks listed here, you can be assured that
the book is financially stable, has excellent customer
service, allows a variety of ways to fund your account,
and has an easy interface for placing your online bet.
All of the books listed offer varying bonus policies,
varying limits, varying odds, and even varying tracks
- so you have the opportunity to shop for the best online
racebook for your particular interest and betting style.

After you have
chosen your preferred online racebook, you will need to
sign up for an account. All of the books mentioned in
this Horse Betting Online Guide have very simple, self-explanatory
application forms, so we will not go into much detail
about the actual sign up process here.

Funding your account,
however, is one of the fundamental differences between
horse betting online and placing bets at the track or
at your local off-track betting facility. Obviously you
cannot place your bet money right in the online racebook
clerk's hand. But as technology has given us the wonderful
gift of horse betting online, it has also provided a means
to transfer money quickly and easily over the internet.
Many online racebooks accept Visa or Mastercard, and,
for European clients, a variety of debit cards as well.
For larger transfers, most online racebooks will accept
bank wire transfers and Western Union, or even checks
and money orders. Most North American clients will find,
however, that the fastest and easiest way to fund your
online horse betting accounts will be by using an online
wallet. There are a variety of options available including
Neteller
and Moneybookers.
Both of these companies offer a simple, yet extremely
secure means of opening and funding an online wallet account.
Once you have an online wallet it is a simple matter to
both place your deposits with your chosen online horse
betting establishment, and perhaps more importantly, to
collect your winnings!
